Image destination is one of the most important factors to attract and retain tourists. An enticing destination image promotes the tourist's experience and creates satisfaction that encourages tourists to return. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of destination image and the factors that constitute the destination image on tourist satisfaction at a tourist destination. Cronbach's Alpha test methods, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) were used in the study. Primary database was used as a result of the survey involving 500 tourists at the mountainous destinations in Thanh Hoa province. The results of the study demonstrated that destination images positively impact tourists’ satisfaction. Based on the study results in the article, we proposed some key solutions to strengthen propaganda and promotion for relevant destinations; to improve the quality of tourism infrastructure; to create and diversify tourism products; to enhance security measures for greater safety and further improvement of tourist satisfaction.

The recognition of brand equity has been in a substantial amount of recent research. In this study, we investigated the indicators of brand equity, which include brand image, brand awareness, and brand loyalty, in the context of higher education in analyzing the students of 10 universities in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. We collected a sample size of 340 people to conduct a path analysis using a Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. The results proved a significant relationship between brand awareness and brand loyalty and brand equity. We also verified the relationships between brand communication, brand trust, and brand image. These findings provide an example of one such implication, such as what universities should emphasize in their marketing efforts.

The main objective of this study was to assess the role of corporate social responsibility on tourism and hospitality in Vietnam. To accomplish this, we conducted a field survey and analysis on 886 tourism and hospitality in Vietnam over a 6-month period. The results show that corporate social responsibility helped businesses improve corporate reputation, increase customer satisfaction and improve financial performance of Vietnam tourism and hospitality. Customer satisfaction and corporate reputation had a statistically significant positive impact on the financial performance of these businesses. However, corporate reputation and customer satisfaction did not play a full mediate role in the relationship between corporate social responsibility and financial performance. Finally, we examined the moderate role of foreign ownership and size in the relationship between corporate social responsibility and financial performance, showing that both foreign ownership and firm size had a moderate role on the relationship between corporate social responsibility and financial performance. With the more percent of foreign owned, the implementation of corporate social responsibility, the stronger the impact on the financial performance, the less percentage of foreign owned, which means the implementation of corporate social responsibility had positive impact but less intense. The greater size of enterprises, the more corporate social responsibilities and the better financial performance. In contrast to the smaller businesses, the more corporate social responsibility, the worse financial performance. At the same time, we proposed several solutions to improve the corporate social responsibility for tourism and hospitality in Vietnam.

This paper aimed to evaluate the factors affecting quality management (QM) through the quality management system according to ISO 9001 standards of Vietnam businesses. The authors surveyed on 200 manufacturing and technology enterprises that apply ISO 9001 quality management in Hanoi and Da Nang and HCMC. Factors affecting the effectiveness of quality management under ISO 9001 include five elements: (1) Management commitment; (2) Staff involvement; (3) Cooperation of customers and suppliers; (4) Consultants; and (5) Quality management document system. Research results show that the above factors had positive impacts on the effectiveness of the quality management system (QMS). The study has given a number of solutions for businesses that have been and will apply QMS in accordance with ISO 9001 with appropriate adjustments to promote the efficiency of the system.

Drawing on upper echelon theory, this study investigates the impact of CEOs’ (chief executive officers) demographic characteristics on corporate environmental performance (CEP) in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). We hypothesized that CEO characteristics, including gender, age, basic educational level, professional educational level, political connection, and ethnicity, affect SMEs’ environmental performance. Using the cross-sectional data analysis of 810 Vietnamese SMEs, this study provides evidence that female CEOs and CEOs’ educational level (both basic and professional) are positively related to the probability of CEP. We also find that based on the role of institutional environment on CEP, political connections had a negative effect on CEP in the context of Vietnam. Another finding is that SMEs with chief executives from ethnic minority groups show a higher level of the probability of corporate environmental performance than companies operated by Kinh chief executives. Since CEP is an essential dimension of corporate social responsibility, a strategic decision for SMEs, it is crucial for the company to select appropriate CEOs based on their demographic characteristics.
